Massive massive congratulations, so happy for you.

Brilliant news on the debt figure, your going great guns, and as you know the dates re work etc, then your be in a position now to balance the books as they.

You've got a lovely age gap as well, bursting with smiles. You take things easy, just keep us up to date with food craving, xx

Thanks everyone :-)

LT who wouldnt want an orange carpet?????? I am well Jel! Hows things moving with the sale?

Mum2one Food cravings would be great, Ive got constant sickness at the minute the same as I had with Pip. Non stop eating and seabands are helping though and Mr Pips is looking after me very well.

Monkey how on earth have you managed to make so much in vouchers already? Thats one rocking total!

Stripes and Lucielle Thank you x x

Ive got an unexpected day off tomorrow as my poor Nans broke her arm and got to have an op on it tomorrow :-( They put a temp cast on it but now swellings gone down they can see its not set properly. Hopefully just in and out in same day but she is 86.

Hope it goes well for nan.

Glad you asked about the vouchers actually, as I'd forgotten I had that in my sig, so hadn't updated. I've been keeping track on a spreadsheet though, and had an extra £50 ish that I hadn't added! And £20 that I'm waiting on that's not included yet
£100 of the £175 is from Consumer Pulse and Shop & Scan, as both me and OH are signed up to both of them, and the Food on the Go panel as well, so lots of points to be had. (He 'lives at his parents' address you see! I think she'd be sick of still getting post for him by now given that we moved in together over 2 and a half years ago! But she doesn't mind because she knows how much the vouchers all help us out.
If we could pay the bills with Amazon / Argos vouchers etc, we'd be just fine!!

I do sometimes just think we should sell them on Ebay, but I don't want to lose 10% to Ebay and Paypals £.4%, all adds up, so instead we just use them for things that we could really do with but would either have to budget for or fork out for from our normal money, or the very occasional little treat.

Hope your nan's op goes smoothly tomorrow.

Thanks Lucielle and Monkey, sure Nan will be ok as she is a tough old bird!

Whats the food panel Monley? Ive been doing Swagbucks this year and Ive redeemed 3 x £5 Amazon already, also just got a redeem on Mysurvey for £10 Amazon, very near a redeem on Maximiles and also on Valued Opinions. Going to save all the Amazons for Christmas presents :-)

The Food On The Go Panel is something that the same people who do Consumer Pulse and Shop & Scan do, where you text in any snacks/drinks/lunch etc that you buy to eat whilst out and about. I think you have to be a member of Shop&Scan to be invited, but I was sent an email invite from them after doing S&S for a while.
You can get up to £5 a week worth of points so adds up nicely, although we never usually get up to the maximum because that's like 20 texts a week, and I don't usually remember to send that many, and we certainly don't buy lunch or snacks 'on the go' that many times a week anyway. :money:

hope everything goes well for your Nan.

if you're so jelous of the orange carpet i'm more than willing to package it up and send it along to you, free of charge of course lol

Hello All!

Nans op went well Thanks. She had to have it wired together so is in a bit of pain but generally in good spirits.

Found out today that they have bought forward my Leave date from work and I now go MARCH 30th!!!!!!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I will get part pay until May 31st and then in June I will receive my last wage and redundancy settlement and then......................we are on our own for a few months!!

Ive actually complained to HR as I found out about new leave date via FACEBOOK!!!:mad: I was off sick latter part of last week and read someones status saying about the new date, presumed I would have had and email at the very least for when I returned and was disgusted to see when I went back today that I had been missed off :mad: Basically if I hadnt had a Facebook account I probably still would not know I was leaving earlier. Fuming is not the word!!!

mum2one

I may be barking up the wrong tree but that sounds very dodgy, if I was you I'd see if you get a free half hr intro with a solicitor, as pretty sure there rules and regs regarding redundancy, and if there not followed then you would be entitled to the money

Lemon_Tree

that's completely out of order! you really need to push that complaint, they should have informed you at the same time, if you were sick they should have called you. how many people work where you are? and how many are being made redundant. we're undergoing lots of rounds of reorganisation and if it's below 100 people they have to have a 30 day consultation period, if its more then it's 90 days
